My dd came home last night and asked if she was going to the gym on October 31st or trick-or-treating. I told her it was a no brainer to me. Trick-or-treating is once a year, gym is 3 times a week. Obviously she's going out for Halloween She was visibly relieved.

I thought it was strange that she'd even ask. I guess some of the girls in her group are planning on training that night anyways. So what's your take on it?

Thanks for bringing it up. I had to go look at my dds schedule, I spaced it off totally (apparently her coach already thought of that and changed the schedule to switch to a different day). I would say I would have let her go trick-o-treating anyway. I have to keep reminding myself that she's a kid first and a gymnast after that. My guess would be that her coach also wants to take her own kids out. You're totally right though they only dress up and go out for so many years before their too grown up for that kind of thing.
